I was able to get the one that goes around the front portion of the sunroof from the dealer, but I still need to find the rear part.

The sunroof in my 88 started to leak real bad earlier this month and I was looking to replace my seals too. After one big rainstorm, and at least a pint of water leaked in, I opened the sunroof and noticed that a lot of water was puddling on the front passenger side between the seal and the roof. I saw that the water was not draining thru the drain hole so I ran a wire down it and felt a clog in the line. After I plunged thru the clog, I've had no leaks. Could be the same problem that you are having.

that very well could be my problem too I will have to try that.Part of my problem is that the back seal that is attatched to the body not around the glass is broke and i have a hard time opening the sun roof.I guess I can try to take the one off my parts car if it is in any better shape.
